JACKSONVILLE, Fla., August 28, 2025 – Snowbird Technologies is proud to announce that its cutting-edge SAMM Tech platform has been selected for continued discussions and potential development following a successful presentation and live demonstration at the Air Force Global Strike Command (AFGSC) Capabilities Showcase, held last month in Bossier City, Louisiana.
Now in its fourth year, the AFGSC Capabilities Showcase—hosted in partnership with the Small Business Consulting Corporation (SBCC)—brings together forward-thinking commercial innovations and senior Air Force leaders committed to advancing the future of strategic deterrence.
At this year’s event, Snowbird Technologies introduced SAMM Tech, a groundbreaking additive mobile manufacturing system engineered for point-of-need, deployable production in high-demand environments. The SAMM Tech platform integrates 3-axis plastic and metal additive manufacturing with 5-axis CNC machining, supported by advanced 3D scanning for real-time quality control and reverse engineering.
During the showcase, Jeremy Heerdink, Vice President of Business Development, presented SAMM Tech’s mission-critical capabilities and operational benefits for Air Force applications. Following the presentation, Zach Wilson, Engineering Project Manager, conducted an outdoor demonstration of the 10-foot mobile unit, showcasing its versatility and precision. The system features state-of-the-art components, including the Meltio directed energy deposition print engine, Slice Engineering Mosquito Prime plastic extrusion system, and the Creaform MetraSCAN Optical 3D Scanner, offering unprecedented adaptability and autonomy in austere environments.
Thanks to its unique capabilities and tailored design for agile, on-demand manufacturing, SAMM Tech was selected for follow-on discussions to evaluate its alignment with AFGSC mission objectives.
“SAMM Tech was purpose-built to support the warfighter in the most challenging and resource-constrained environments,” said Jeremy Heerdink, Vice President of Business Development at Snowbird Technologies. “We are honored to be chosen for further collaboration with AFGSC and believe SAMM Tech can fundamentally transform logistics, reduce parts obsolescence, and strengthen supply chain resilience as a true force multiplier.”
